i don't look at percent gains because i ignore drawdowns for my accounts. so it's not really relative to me but for the institutions big money loves 12% returns with 4% drawdowns. anything other than that will not attract big money. liquidity ceilings are always a concern and probably my most time consuming focus these days. that and anonymity of the business. no re-investing only last a short time as you probably are aware sounds like you are or worked around some professionals. your guesses are almost concerning me i have a leak somewhere. smirk.
Hey man, I trade the same whether there's chop or trend. If you have a way of accurately predicting which it's going to be then I'm all ears to listen. Until that time, I'll trade the way I trade, which is really based more on math and doesn't pay much attention to charts anyway.
you know why don't you just get that girl mod to look up and see i would love for anyone to post evidence that i have EVER been anyone other than markbrown on this board. now produce evidence you anonymous slanderer! in the old days my name was markbrown.com but the mods after 7 years of seeing me ------ their sponsors made my username just markbrown.
here is a way to start the framework for a dual chop to trend system. http://www.oddballsystems.com/download_code.php?id=27&file=326shortcut.zip
you suggested that i have more than one username that these people who post in favor of me are possibly me. i have never had another username on this forum and i only post what has my name on it. you don't suggest that people who post against me are fakes or that is myself - i never have suggested that your anything other than what you seem to be - a bitter asshole. you really need to get a life and do something other than make thousands of useless post. you will be dead one day and no will miss you to any great extent on et yet look how many hours of your life you wasted posting. at least i tried to help some people along my miserable life and not call the sky purple when it's obviously blue to everyone else. in a old phrase "man your eat up with it" move on get some help get a girl or man whatever. but don't get in the way of others who want to learn something, these attacks are just stupid. go fuck with Jack Hershey if you want to vent. m
Hello markbrown, thank you for sharing insights and techniques. Reading through the thread, just wanted to verify what I've got from it so far: - have a dual strategy: one for chop, one for trend - focus more on the chop, it happens more often - strategy should be based on a "market internal", or a "data series 2", which has a wide range of possibilities as to what it is (one must do one's own work to find it) I had a question on market internals, or data series 2: Does it suggest direction for the next trade, or does it suggest whether to use the chop or the trend strategy? thanks
ok not going to leave you all hanging on data two i will help advancing issues and other stuff i will get into that is better. the data two is for direction of next trade not chop or trend. is a fantastic question you ask and shows your thinking. the model uses data 2 to trigger the trade and then when it fails it is using the data 1 series to determine the failure - is that slick? m
